WHAT A DIFFERENCE .there-is, in, women. Tlie wise ones have; already bought all my White, Blue and Black Hamburg, Net, and I have only Borne of the Brown left, in different patterns, and that is going fast: too; and no -wonder, when I ani sellingl it at the ridic\iloii3 price of Is a yard. I have just bought a lot of Biack, White, and Brown Hamburg Trimming, and wiil sell it at 2d, 3d, and 4d yard; so don-'C be too late. The ladies tell. me1: there isn't a man more talked of by them in Auckland than I am, and no wonder, when lam always buying them something nice. I only wish I ! could get some more Shirt Fronts like I 'am now i selling at Cd each. What would the Queen siiy if she saw my new lot of lovely ' Cuffs and Collars? I have plenty of the Collars, but the Cuffs are going so fast that they will soon be all sold; Embroidery, 4d a yard; ladies' .White Stockings. 6d ; a few Eoys' Woolen Jackets left at 2s. I will now reduce my 6s Jackets to if, and my 4s ones to 3s 6d. Already about three parts of the Scarf Shawls I told you of ate sold, and which measure 3 yards 7 inches'long1, and over 2 feet wide. If there are any married men who wish their wives to live a long while, and I believe there are some who do, let them prove it by treating their wives to one of these Shawls this cold weather. Toilet Fringe, Id a yard; Lace, Id a yard: Clark's skeins Crochet Cotton, 2Jd or 2s id per doz; Hair Pius. 5d a dozen boxe3, or 2 boxes a penny; Towels, 3d and 6d ; Trouser Buttor.B, 2d per dozen. If you wish to look like a Queen, come and sea the lovely bargains I have just bought—namely. Black Bracelets, td per pair. They look like real jot. Such lovely Necklets, with lockets, 3s each. They look like 18 carat gold, and if they aro not I will give you your money back. I will now give your husbands an inducement to take you out for a walk a little oftener by selling such handsome Watch Guards at 2s each. All I need say about them is that though "they may not be" more than 9 carat gold, they look as well as many that aro IS carat, and somebody loses awfully on them, 1 can assure you. As you ladies are fond ot the beautiful, come and look at my immense Btock of magnificent Belt Clasps, the highest price of which is Is a pair. Tho small shopkeepers should buy quickly my round :uooking. Glasses at Bd, Is, and Is 6d per dozen; Silk Cashiou Cord, 6<i per dozen yards; Slates, 3d; 'i'owejs. 3d; fresh lot of Bog Oak Brooches, 6d each. I want to see how many sensible tailors will come and buy my 10 inch Tape .Measures at Id each, worth (sd; my Liden Machine Thread. at Cd a 2 oz. reel, and my Tailor's Thimbles at 9d a doz., worth 3d each. If all the women in A uckland were as sharp as my lady cußtoiners, I shouldn't have any 200 } ard reels of Glazed Cotton left to sell at Sd a dozen, nor any 50-yard ditto to sell at id per dozen; but there are sure to bo some stupid women in every country. My Ruche (different colours) is going well at Id a. yard. I shouldn't be at all surprised but what some of the ladies have been telling their husbands about my Men's superior Felt Hats at 2s 6d, as there has been a great run on them lately. I have also some at 2a. Handsome Coloured Satin Furniture Trimming, 6d per yard ; Coloured FurBraid, 6d per dozen yards; Black and Green Furniture Gimp, 6d per dozen yards; Black Bugle Dress Gimp, reduced to id per yard. Isn't it a wonder ladies that I manage to live when I am continually reducing something for you. Satin and "Velvet Tubular Trimming, 2d per yard ; White Diamond Braid, 6d per dozen yards ; Window Blind Cord. 6d per dozen yards; White Handled Knives and Forks, 9d per pair ; Men's Coloured Shirts, 2s; Crimean ditto, 2s 6d to 4s; 18 knots of Piping Cord for Cd, or two a penny; American Cloth for table covers, Is 3d per yard. Some ladies I hear are making Cushions with my twopenny Hair Pads, and Antimacassars of my Hamburg net. I wish more of the Men knew what good wives they have to be so ingenious. Ladies Handsome Bags, 4s 6d; Brazil Nuts, 6d per lb ; a fresh lot of the Wonderful Two Shilling Tea. I have'nt had -any Children's Poll Combs to boast of lately, but I have now at 3d to 6d each; handsome Bodkins, 3d a doz; Shoe Brushes, with veneered backs, 3 for 2s Gd; a few dozen Pork Pie .Hats lett, reduced to 4d each; a few Men's Courier Bags left at 2s and 2s Cd. Will you believe that lam seUine Ijinen Shirt Fronts with or without collars, at 6d each; about half of them are already gone. Black Braid, 4d a dozen yards; Grey and" Brown do, 6d a i gross; Green and Purple do, Is 6d a i-groas ; white handled Knives, 3d each; a few Kink Muffs left, 33 6d each; a few Waterproof Coats left, reduced to 6s each ; colored Bag Binding, 4d a dozen yards ; a few Men's Patant Leather Leggings left, reduced to 3s 6d a pair. I am selling Carte-de-Visites of the principal people in the world at lOd each or Ss a dozen ; Cabinet size, Is 6d each. What will the men do when all my Satin Scarfs at Is are all gone, audit will not be long, for I have already sold I should think about 45 dozen. I shall want you ladies to buy my handsome Belt Buckles at 2d to la as soon as you can, as I have bought over 92 dozen. 1 have also bought about 80 dozen pairs of Bracelets, which I am selling 6dand 9d a pair, and they are beauties ; ladies high Button Boots, 5s 6d. Some ladies have sense enough to give me Is 6d for a good Umbrella, but they don't all appear to have. Military Braid reduced to 4d a dozen yards. I will now open a fresh lot of Chignons in separate boxes and sell them at Is. All the others I now reduce to 9d. I have also a. great bargain in Ribbon at 14 to 8d a yard ; do. nearly 3J inches wide 1 Is; black Vulcanite Chain, 9d a yard; green blue violet and drab Dress Gimp, 2d a yard; also green, blue, and drab Silk Fringe, 3d a yard, Come and see my handsome Black Hair and Hat Ornaments, from 3d to9d; Whit© Bed Lace, 6<l a dozen yards. lam now selling the coarse Reels of Machine Silk that the ladies like at 2d or Is 9d a dozen ; 30 yards do, Is 34 a dozen or lid a reel; Shoemaker's Tape Measures, Id each ; 'lasso Trimming, 2d a yard; good size colored bordered Pocket Handkerchiefs, 3d each; good Elastic, 36yds for Is; blackglass Dre3s Buttons, 2d a dozen ; large Black Satin do, 4d; Colored do, Id. Now lam not going to say that there is one bad woman in Auckland, but s-till I will say that some are a great deal better than others ; for instance I believe some ladies come and get their bargains of me as usual, and hug them ail to themselves, not saying a word to their friends about the wonderful bargains they have bought, whilst the good ladies show what they have bought of me, and tell the price they have paid, and bo do good to those they know, including myself. I have a few Hawking Baskets cheap for those who are thinking of going into business, There is one advantage the ladies will gain by reading this advertisement over again, and that is they will be able to write down what they wish to remember. Tell your husbands to come and see my strong useful Shoes at 4s a pair.—W, H. Dampier, Victoria-street, corner of Hobsonstreet. OOTS ! BOOTS I SELLING OFFji SELLING OFF !-C.
